Runaway Dog

Well, my pooch ranaway today and as much as I thought he was just a doggy, I really am quite sad that he is gone, not because he was my dog, or a member of this Drama filled family, but because, he came into my life 3 days after Nadia died. Yes I know he wasn't any sort of replacement, but bringing him to me was Leonard's way of trying to make me smile and bring some sort of comfort to me after my baby went to be with Jesus. This may not make sense to most but it did make me smile, I remember laying on my grandmother's couch in tears, when at 3 o'clock in the morning Leonard came in with his hands behind his back and then before me sat a sweet tiny little black and brown striped puppy shivering and there he lay with me for days cuddling with me and Jayden and comforting me when I could not comfort myself, and I called him King. Yes Mister King has gotten out of his kennel before, but usually the neighbor calls to report his mischief in her yard, or I find him hours later sunbathing in the driveway, and once I ever had to bail him out of doggy jail, but this time he is gone, and I find myself feeling an emptiness, for some crazy reason, a heaviness has hit me.
